Fine Semolina is made from the middle of the durum wheat grain and was one of the very first types of flour developed. In fact, its name comes from the Latin root, semolena meaning flour. Throughout Europe and the Middle East, semolina is a popular base for sweets and breakfast cereals. In Italy, it's an essential ingredient in pasta, gnocchi, pizza dough, and bread. In many northern European countries, semolina is boiled and served with milk and jam. A truly universal food!
